When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

Follow these basic steps to select the best transformer for each phase of your next project. Suppose you've got the job of designing the power distribution for an entire building. At some point, ...

Power management plays a major role in virtually every electronic system because it controls, regulates, and distributes dc power throughout the system. Therefore, the dc power management subsystem ...

In LLC Power Conversion Explained, Part 2: Sine Wave from a Square Wave, a basic square wave Switched Mode Power Supply was shown to be filtered from a square wave into a sine wave. This resulted in a ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...
